Sad and tired and trial crossed,
I leave the dusty town behind,s
And, line . weary pilgrim bent
l TO thy quiet resting place,
Have come to dream Of thee,
Ny mother.
And once upon this sacred spot
The dre4sy gulf seemed bsidxed,
For that dear past, With all thy
Blessings filed, doth Ger me pour
It's eeaseless rain Of freshest
Memories.
And 'neafh these drenching floods,
Which wet the heart and wash the
Dust Of every sordid aim away,
/ feel thy angel presence near,
And bow with thoughts refreshed
And purified.
II thou hadst faults the Wise One
Hid them from me, that / might
Never know that thou, who seemed
So pure and good, had aught In
Thee to show that thou vert frail
And human.
Thy life was one of sweetest
Abnegation, for selfishness
Died the day that God did give
Thee motherhood, and In the grave
Ofthy deep love, 1t found its
Everlasting burial
A life so nobly spent for
Others good and Others veal
Wins at last the sweet reward
OF peace and rest aud perfect
Bliss. which the good doth reap
In Heaven. =.
know that thou Art there,
Basking In beams Of endless day,
For, pure as incense born in prayer,
Thy walk was always Godward,
And every single word declared
His Fatherhood.
Oh, how sweet IL IL to know
That Heaven is thy blessed home,
And thou canst welcome there,
When the storms of life are passed,
Thy children.
/ love TO stand and sprinkle
Tears upon thy grave, for well

OF this dear grief, some precious
Flower of good will root, and
From its full grown bloom send
Fragrance forth to purify my
Life aud draw me nearer to
Ny angel mother.

AMERICAN TIN.

From time when the memory of man
goes not back TO the contrary, America
has been importing all the tin she used.
Though making use of that metal to a
greater extent than any other country,
she has yet been obliged to pay tribute
to foreign landS-chiehy England-for
all of her raw material. She hasn't
liked it, but she couldn't help herself.
She did this, too, Notwithstanding the
fact that immense deposits of ore con-
tanning the coveted tin were known to
exist in this country, notably in the
Black Hills region of Dakota. But the
ore was of a refractory nature, and
could only be concentrated at such
great expense as to render competition
with the imported article impossible.
But change is coming. A method is said
to have been discovered by which
the Dakota tin can be readily smelted.
Works are now being constructed at
DeadwoOd, and it IS said that early in
the new year the tin will be put upon
the market. This is good news for the
American manufacturers, who have
been obliged to purchase their TIN
abroad. And it is good news for Da-
kOta, too, since the development of any
portion of her material wealth must be
the cause of rejoicing; but it is better
news than all for the lucky discOverer
of the new method and owner of the tin
mines. who, in putting cheap tin in vast
quantities on the market, will stimuli
taneOuSly-to use a slang phrase-put
good deal of tim in his own pockets,
all of which he will have justly earned,

SHERMAN'S SHIFT.

1t is funny, isn't il, to hear JOHN
SHERMAN arguing that the Republican
tariff policy is in the direction of free
trade. 1t only shows to what eXtremi-
ties candidate can be driven when
huStling around for votes. Mr.. SHER-
MAN has heretofore enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being something of political
chameleon, who could change his color
to suit each varying exigency. But this
is the most notable flop of all. A few
short months ago there was no ranker
prOtectIoniSt in all the country than
JOHN SHERMAN. BE was protection
list per sc, holding protection to be
the fundamental doctrine of the
Republican party. Now he is quoted
in his leading organ, the Gin
cinnati Commercial, as saying that the
present tariff, which is the offspring of
the Republican party, was not con-
Structed in the interest of the prOtec-
tiOnistS, but is as near a SimOn-pure free
trade affair as can be gotten together to
permit the collection of any tariff duties
at all. Why is it that this change has
come over the spirit of Mr.. SHERMAN'S
dream? Is it simply the result of his
constitutional habit of jumping from
one side to the other of important pub
lie questions, or is it because he sees
handwriting on the wall telling that the
protective policy of the Republican party
has been weighed in the balance of public
opinion and found wanting. We are con-
strained TO believe that Mr.. SHERMAN's
recent utteranceS on the tariff are the
direct result of the latter. Whatever
else may be said of JOHN SHERMAN, he
is no fool. He can gauge public senti-
ment as well as the next one. He rec
ogniZeS the fact that the masses are
terribly in earnest in the matter of
tariff reform, and he knows that the
days of protected monopoly are ap-
preaching an end. His present posi-
ton is simply a repe tition of his former
weather-vane practices. He is adjusting
himself to the wind. His long
congressional career Identifies him
so completely with the Repub-
lican tart If policy that he can
not separate his individual candidacy
from it; so the only thing that is left for
him to do is to make the effort to con-
vince the public that he thought he was
cooperating in free trade movement
when he was voting in congress with
his Republican associates for high tariff
measures. 1t is an inconsistent record
that Mr.. SHERMAN is making for him
self, and its inconsistency is only
equaled by its righteousness. The
man who has to plead the baby act in
defense of his record is not the man to
make strong presidential candidate.

ALeVeI-Headed Citizen,

To the Editor of the Globe.
The last gubernatorial contest demon
Strated the slender hold of the Republi-
can party on the suffrage of Minnesota.
Whether the state remains Republican,
or joins the columns of her sister states
in support of the present administra-
ton. depends much upon the character
of the men selected as standard bearers.
The present incumbent of the Office of
chief executive was the result of traffic
and compromise, and was foisted upon
the party by scheming politicians. As
a consequence the machine" has been
worked to the extreme. A silent acQui-
escence among thinking men of both
paties has only served to strengthen
their determination to select the best
man in the future, without regard to
party affiliatiOn; nor will the venal
glitter of Dives ducats, unaccompanied
by strict political integrity, satisfy the
honest voter as an alternative. What
is now demanded is an intelligent, up
right man to fill the chair that John A.
Pillbury so long and faithfully occupied.
Such an one may be found in the rank
and fle of either party. A plutoeracy
is Incompatible with free institutions.

RETURN OF THE BURGLAR.

With the coming of cold weather that
intrusive person. the professional burg
lar, has come again among us, attended
by his satellites, the sneak thieves.
Numerous petty theftS and several at
temptS at hOusebreaking have lately
been made. They will probably be con-
tinued at intervals throughout the win
ter, despite the vigilance of the police,
until two or three of the constituencies
individuals who covet other mems goods
are put out of the way of further covet-
ing by policeman'S club or a bullet
fired by courageous householder.
But citizens can do much toward aid
ing the police in frustrating the efforts
of the persistent burglar by exercising
a little vigilance and caution them
selves. The careful locking of VIII
dowS, doors and shutters every night
and the location of automatic burglar
alarms in their vicinity would have
tendency to reduce the danger Of an in
break; while the statiOning of full
blooded bull dog or two about the prem
ises would, in the event of his making
their close acquaintance, discourage the
most enterprising burglar that ever
scratched a silver spoon to see if it was
solid.
After a successful raid by thieves the
sufferers are very apt to declaim against
the efficiency of the police, but it will
generally be found that the citizen, by
his carelessness, afforded the thief easy
means of ingress. The police will do
the best they can, and there is no doubt
either of their efficiency or courage, but
in addition observe a little carefulnesS
and caution yourself.

The Monopoly Must Go.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.--The city council
tonight by an almost unanimous vote
adopted resolutions requesting the
mayor to write to the attorney general
of the state asking him to file quo
warranto for the purpose of FORGETTING
the charter of the Chicago Gas trust.
The forfeiture of the charter of every
gas company in the city was also de-
manded, each of them being now con-
trolied by the trust. The law depart
ment of the city was instructed to give
all information and aid possible in pros
ecuting the quo warranto. The resolu-
tions denounce the action of the trust in
advancing the price of gas % per cent,
and declare that the quo warranto is
necessary as notice to all desiring to
initiate the example of the originators
of this trust that monopolies will not be
permitted to exist under republican
form of government.

EUROPE'S CRISIS.

Every one feels that Il crisis in Eure
pean affairs is at hand. 1t is in the air.
You can sniff it in every breeze that
blows across the Atlantic, Gnd you can
hear it in every cable click, as with
lightning rapidity news speeds along
the oceans bed, telling of the collapse
of the GREVY administration in France
and of the prospective termination of
the HOHENZoLLERN race of kings in
Germany. GREW goes out of Office
next Thursday, and Kaiser WILHELM
is liable to leave the world at any hour.
With CREWS resignation comes the
crisis in France, and with the emperOr's
death comes the crisis in Germany.
With an uncertain fate impending
over two such great powers, it is no
wonder that the rest of Europe awaits
developments with fear and trembling.
There is no prophet, nor the son of a
prophet. who can foretell the future pol
itics of Europe There are so many
possibilities in sight, with so few GER
tainties in hand, that the wisest man
would be at sea in specializing upon the
outcome. The situation is not only
fraught with grave concern to the peo-
pie of Europe, but it is one in which the
entire civilized world has deep inter
est. If the sun of peace and prosperity
should set upon France and Germany,
it would be dark period for the rest of
the world.

LAKE DISASTERS.

Disasters on the great lakes have been
unusually numerous during this month,
and the end is probably not yet, since
yesterdays shipping news gave notice
of a number of clearanceS from different
ports. At the same time a gale, accom-
panied by snow, was reported. The fact
is that lake traffic in November is dam
gerOus in the extreme. During this
month storms must naturally be ex-
pected, and vessel owners in sending
their boats out willfuIly imperil the lives
of the crews and risk the loss of their
property.
The only effective method of putting
q stop to the disasters is to discontinue
lake transportation during November;
but so long as the insurance companies
can be induced TO take risks during that
month owEcrs will refuse to consider
such a proposition. If they could not
get policies written on their vessels,
however, they would not send them
out.
The matter then lies solely with the
insurance companies. Let them refuse
insurance during November and the
calamities which have in the past few
weeks Mortified the entire country will
be without repetition.

With good Suggesting and fairly
good actor of fine physique in the title
role, "The Gladiator" can always be
made a successful production. Such
were the conditions last night, and the
large crowd, whom the bitterness of the
cold evening did not deter from turning
out to witness ROBERT DowNING's I'M
perSonatiOn of a character that EDWIN
FORREST and JOHN MCCULLoUGH made
famous. were well compensated. Man
ager MACK has given the play apprOpri-
ate stage setting, although the scenery
was not so elaborate or gorgeous as had
been anticipated. Both the scenery
and the costumes are historically
correct. Mr.. DOWNING is young
actor of good promise. but in the
parlance of the day has bitten Oft more
than he can chew if he ever expects to
equal the lamented MCCULLOUGH's
"GladiatOr' performance. In the first
place, Mr.. DOWNING carries too much
flesh and ought TO 60 into training. lii
the second place his elocutiOn is faulty,
there being too much affectatiOn of the
IRVING style in cuttin, the words OFF
short. Barring these GefectS, his acting
IS good. He evinceS a proper cOncep-
ton of the character of SpartacuS,
and when he frees himself from Irving
ism, as he did in the recitation at the
close of the fourth act, his reading gives
a very pretty Interpretation of the lines.
Mr.. MEREDITH CrassuS was one of
the cleyereSt parts of the whole per-
Torrance. Miss EARLE's imperSOna-
ton of Sonora was we'll done.
MIR. DOWNING had call before the
curtain at the end of the fourth act.
The company is evenly balanced, and
in some instances the supporting cast
excel in dramatic strength. This is
particularly true of MEREDITH, d.
BoIS, NEvINS and Miss EARLE, and
Master DINNIE plays the child part well.
The best feature of the stage decOra-
ton is the arena scene, but even this
could be improved by few brushes of
fresh paint.

Lake wen Combine.

CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 2s.-A combi-
nation. including a dozen of the leading
shipbuilders and dry-dock owners on
the chain of lakes, was formed here to-
night. Representatives from big estab-
lishments in Cleveland, Milwaukee.
Chicago, Detroit, Trenton, Bay City and
Buffalo were present. w. l. BabcOck,
of Buffalo, presided. The name
selected was the Interlake Build
ers' and Repairers' association. A
Melville, of Detroit, was elected presi-
dent; Ii. J. Mills, of Buffalo, secretary,
and John Fitz gerald. of Milwaukee,
treasurer. The association adjourned
at midnight subject to the call of the
president. The delegates refused to
admit reporters to their meeting, and
would not talk after they adjourned.
They declared that the organization
was conceived and accomplished for
mutual protection, pure and simple.
